Rules of Engagement

for Talent Management

 “Those who build great companies understand that the ultimate throttle on growth for any great company is not market, or technology, or competition or products. It is one thing above all others: the ability to get and keep enough of the right people.” – Jim Collins, author of Good to Great. 

For two years now, all we have heard about when it comes to people is downsizing and rightsizing. The whole focus on cost cutting was to enable survival. It is interesting that this year the TV series, Survivor, ended its run. Very symbolic because it is now time for businesses to stop thinking of survival and to reenergize the concept of thriving. Key to achieving that will be the ability of business owners to be effective talent managers. As business leaders you must recognize the need to integrate and link your strategies across the entire lifecycle – from recruiting to performance management, development, retention and succession planning.   

This session will provide you a checklist for assessing the readiness of your talent and overall corporate culture in order to gain your competitive advantage. The critical elements of the infrastructure and their relationship to business success will be defined. You will be given the benchmarks for all key areas within your talent management lifecycle to not only expand your horizons but increase your profits along the way. 

Topics covered: 

  • Analysis and definition of the infrastructure

  • Strategic planning and processes for enhanced talent management

  • Diagnosis of the current team against ideal team
  • Functional assessment and definition of positions
  • Processes to use for initiating replacement and outplacement
  • Critical components to attract and develop younger workers
  • Strategies to engage and retain a diverse workforce and create positive results
  • Shaping your company’s culture to contribute to talent retention

 

Who should attend?  This session is highly recommended for business owners, managers, supervisors and human resource personnel who are involved with any part of the talent management process.
